IMPROVEMENT IN COVERS FOR SPRING BED-BOTTOMS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,753, dated January 30, 1877; application tiled l November 25, 1876.

To all whom it mag/'concern Be it known that I, Kon'rUM K. PECK, of Faribault, Rice county, Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Cover for Spring Bed-Bottoms, of which the following is a specication: y

Figure 1 is a top view of my improved cover; and Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same, taken through line x, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved cover for spring bed-bottoms which shall be simplein construction, inexpensive in manufacture, convenient in use, andeft'ective in operation, being sti enough to prevent sagging and elastic enough to allow the springs to produce their full effect.

The invention consists in an improved cover for spring bed-bottoms, made in two parts or halves, hinged to each other, and each half being formed of' the two side pieces, the two end pieces, and the intermediate cross-slats, constructed and arranged as hereinafter fully described.

The cover is made in two equal parts or halves. A, the line of division running lengthwise of the bed. Each halfor part A is formed by attaching end pieces a2 and cross-slats a3 rlhe side pieces al are made about two inches wide and half an inch thick. The end pieces a2 are made about four and a half inches wide and half an inch thick.

The cross-slats a are made about an inch and a half Wide and halt an inch thick, and are placed about an inch and a halt' apart. The two parts A are connected together by two or more hinges, a4.

. -The cover is placed upon the springs of the bed-bottom,and is stili7 enough to be kept from sagging between said springs, and at the same time is elastic enough to accommodate itself' to the yield ot' the springs, and thus be coinfortable for those lying upon it.

The hinges a4 enable the parts of the cover to be turned up one at a time, so that they may be conveniently dusted Without being removed from the bed-bottom. The hinges a4 also enable the parts ot' the cover to be folded together for convenience in handling, in storage, or transportation.

Having thus described myinventiou, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentif,

An improved covr` for spring bed-bottoms, made in two parts or halves, hinged to each other, and each halt' being formed of the side pieces a1, the end pieces a2, and the cross-slats a3, constructed and arranged substantially as herein shown and described.- l
